Remarkable Retail

Steve Dennis

Winning and keeping customers in the age of digital disruption — required reading for anyone who runs a store.

Why it's on the shelf

What I actually took from it.

Dennis's argument is that physical retail isn't dying — mediocre, undifferentiated retail is. The book is a checklist for what actually earns a customer's trip: experience, service, and a reason to choose the store over the algorithm. It shapes how every VG consumer brand thinks about its shelf presence.

“Dennis is right that the store isn't dying, indifference is. Every planogram and every customer journey I design starts from the same question this book asks: why would someone choose to walk in here?”
